"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the second issue relates to the use of financial and other resources of the Government for the conduct of the referendum. In the Financial Year, 2009/2010, the Treasury provided Kshs6.85 billion for the Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC) largely for by-elections and voter registration. The Committee of Experts (COE) was given Kshs500,000 for printing of books. The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) was provided with Kshs119 million. All in all, a total of Kshs7.5 billion was given for the referendum process in the Financial Year 2009/2010. For the similar purposes, Kshs7 billion is allocated in the draft 2010/2011 Budget. I know that the IIEC had raised alarm over lack of funds. But I assure you that consultations are going on in Government and between the relevant agencies on this matter and I am confident that we will find the money for the August 4th referendum."
